FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 ( early access )

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
User Locale is Hindi

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The keystore.db which is created under hindi locale is throwing exception while accessing it. Even the standard utility keytool is also failing to access the data.

Steps:

1. Change the Windows Vista system "Regional and Language options" current Format to "Hindi ( India )" and Location to "India"

2. Create the keystore.db using Sun JDK's keytool utility. ( Available with Standard JDK installation )

keytool.exe -genkey -keystore "c:\temp\keystore.db" -keyalg RSA -sigalg MD5withRSA -alias myAlias -storepass password -dname "cn=myMachine,ou=busines,o=org,l=location,s=state C=country"

Enter key password for <myAlias>
        (RETURN if same as keystore password):
Re-enter new password:

3. Access the keystore.db using Sun JDK's keytool utility.
keytool.exe -list -keystore "c:\temp\keystore.db"
resulting in:
keytool error: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 13


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Java API fails on Hindi Locale:

1. Change the Windows Vista system "Regional and Language options" current Format to "Hindi ( India )" and Location to "India"

2. Create the keystore.db using Sun JDK's keytool utility. ( Available with Standard JDK installation )

keytool.exe -genkey -keystore "c:\temp\keystore.db" -keyalg RSA -sigalg MD5withRSA -alias myAlias -storepass password -dname "cn=myMachine,ou=busines,o=org,l=location,s=state C=country"

Enter key password for <myAlias>
        (RETURN if same as keystore password):
Re-enter new password:

3. Access the keystore.db using Sun JDK's keytool utility.
keytool.exe -list -keystore "c:\temp\keystore.db"
keytool error: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 13

4. Try to access the keystore.db using java code.

C:\temp>java.exe -cp . TestProgram c:\temp\keystore.db

If we run the same steps in English or some other locale which has code pages, we are successfully able to access the data in keystore.db.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
expected to print the finger print of myAlias like the following

Keystore type: jks
Keystore provider: SUN

Your keystore contains 1 entry

myalias, Mar 3, 2008, keyEntry,
Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 54:C1:12:23:C8:8E:E2:C6:38:3A:2A:1B:4C:53:44:3C
ACTUAL -
keytool error: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 13

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
create the keystore in english language, then it is accessible in all locales
